Randa Markos released from UFC







Ultimate Fighter veteran Randa Markos is the latest fighter to exit the UFC roster after she completed her contract with the promotion.

UFC officials confirmed the news to MMA Fighting on Wednesday.

A veteran of 18 fights with the promotion, Markos was a stalwart of the strawweight division while facing a laundry list of top opponents over the years.

She made her octagon debut after competing on The Ultimate Fighter season 20, which crowned the first ever UFC strawweight champion.

During her run with the UFC, Markos earned wins over names such as former strawweight champion Carla Esparza, Angela Hill and Juliana Lima.

Markos had largely bounced back and forth between wins and losses throughout much of her UFC career until she recently suffered through a four-fight skid that included setbacks against Mackenzie Dern and Amanda Ribas.

Most recently, Markos returned to the win column with a decision victory over Livia Renata Souza, which brought her overall record to 11-11-1.

With her contract coming to an end with that fight, the UFC opted not to re-sign Markos but it’s always possible that she could rejoin the roster at a later date.

Lmao after she won? Wow. Thats rough.
 
I guess she should have kept losing
I thought the beating she put on Souza saved her job. Ufc must think of loopy godinez as their token canadian sw so Markos was expendable.

Best of luck to randa in whatever's next.
 
Yeah he's the one that changed my name for me as an admin. He just vanished. Some sort of sherdog drama I'm assuming, but I never heard what it was.
I heard he had a fling with a yet to be named sherdog mod and things got awkward so he bailed.
